Abstract

Dielectrics as single layers and broadband high-reflective stacks were deposited by electron beam deposition processes compatible with 1-meter class optics. After being physically and optically characterized, samples were irradiated with several ultrafast lasers (KYW:Yb 500fs, Ti:Sa 40fs and Ti:Sa 11fs) with single and multi-pulses. The setups of the test platforms, laser-induced damage threshold investigations of intrinsic materials, dielectric multilayers and hybrid metal/dielectric multilayers and electric field intensity distributions are described.
